Hello,
Recently I noticed that my transmit frequency is getting further away from
the receive and I have to use RIT in order to hear stations coming to my CQ.
Before, the difference was very small, just few Hz, but now I tune RIT up to
.25 - .30 kHz and it's not getting any better.
I went

Dick,
If you send an email to sa...@elecraft.com, the Elecraft sales team can
probably assist you. Please bear in mind, they have all been impacted by
both COVID and severe wildfires in California.
Thanks and 73,

Has anyone received anything from Elecraft lately ? I have been
waiting for the units I ordered many weeks ago to arrive.
The extra 7dB or so of output power will be appreciated !

If you return to a band but at a different K3 VFO frequency, the new
frequency may be outside the P3's span. If that happens, the P3 will
re-tune using an algorithm determined by the MENU > FixMode setting.
If you want to be sure the P3 frequency doesn't change you can set
FixMode to
I use the Fixed Tune Mode too but the center frequency sometimes isn't
remembered when returning to a previously-used band. If it makes any
difference, I'm usually using N1MM+ (often with Win4K3Suite) to control the
radio.

These dongles are mediocre, yes they are cheap, but they are virtually
useless for anything other than a door stop.
The lowest cost, but useful, SDR receiver is an SDRPLAY RSP1A. With the
free RSPUno software the RSP1A will track a K3 via Omnirig, clicking on a
